C＃从HTML文档中提取内容

Question

I was wondering how can I do something similar to Facebook when a link is posted or like shortening link services that can get the title of the page and its content.

Example:

My idea is to get only the plain text from a web page, for example if the url is an article of a newspaper how can I get only the news's text, like showed in the image. For now I have been trying to use the HtmlAgilityPack but I can never get the text clean.

Note this app is for Windows Phone 7.

Answer 1

You're on the right track with HtmlAgilityPack .

If you want all the text of the website, go for the innerText attribute. But I suggest you go with the meta description tag (if available).

EDIT - Go for the meta description . I believe that's what Facebook is doing:
